Book Review: 'Outwitting the Devil', after over 70 years on TNGG // The Next Generation, June 18, 2011. In the beginning, it might be hard to recognize the negative effects of overthinking, but as time goes by, you’ll get better and better in staying alert.Cultivating the habit of persistence : Hill asserts that persistence is essential for overcoming obstacles and achieving one's goals. By refusing to give up in the face of adversity, individuals can outwit the Devil and break the hypnotic rhythm of fear and failure. In the same category, we can put those who can’t seem to spot the difference between good and bad thoughts.

Definiteness of purpose. Decide on your purpose… a grand aspiration, a monster goal, and move towards it with ruthless abandonment.

The fact that human beings are given complete control over nothing except the power to think their own thought, is filled with significance.Many people aren’t given the gift of aging, instead they die young. The Devil makes us believe that the older we get the smaller our worlds will become and the more useless we are. Nothing could be farther then the truth. The fear of death, this one leads to such health anxiety that a person begins to fear living as much as dying. According to the Devil, the primary weapon he uses to control humanity is fear . Fear of poverty, ill health, criticism, old age, and death are among the most common fears exploited by the Devil to manipulate individuals. The Devil admits that these fears work together to create a hypnotic rhythm that entraps people in a vicious cycle of self-defeat.
